Nests in Progress II

Nestsinprogress2

It's starting to take shape, and I'm not sure if the single egg will be blue like the others or if it will be yellow.  I have to decide where I want your eye to go.  

A reader asked me what I'm doing with the right side of the board, and the answer is that I'm using it as a handle so when I pick up the painting I don't get mucky hands.  When the piece is completely dry, I'll take it out to my picnic table along with a hand saw and cut off those extra few inches.  No, that doesn't make me nervous - what could go wrong?
